Mid-sized ecommerce operations typically spend 20+ hours per week manually processing refunds, leading to:

- High labour costs and inefficient resource allocation
- Human errors in refund calculations and data entry
- Delayed processing during peak periods causing customer frustration
- Inconsistent application of refund policies and fees
- Limited visibility into refund status and trends
- Risk of fraudulent refunds without proper controls
- Poor customer communication leading to increased support tickets

For a business processing 50 refunds daily, this translates to over £85,000 in annual labour costs alone, not counting the impact of errors and customer dissatisfaction.
